State of pryd rvr

[Dook_Pug]

There are many reasons behind people rolling buffblad...er... stealther alts.

I for one decided to level my SB (5 bubs to 50 /flex) as I don't like 75% of the Midgard population, the feeling is probably mutual though

Most of the people I consider friends are part of RvR guilds and I never get the chance to RvR with them because I'm not a part of their guilds. I don't join these guilds because I don't agree with what they stand for, so I'm a little stuck. Especially since my main in a Supp Runie (IE. made for group RvR).

Yes, there are ALOT of SB alts and yes I do think that as a realm it is a very bad thing, however at the end of the day, people play this game for themselves. If they want to roll an SB then bloody well let them. If you really feel so strongly about it then don't group/interract with them and make your own RvR with people who have the same views as yourself.

Going back on topic; Prydwen RvR sucks if you play a class that relies on groups and you're not part of an RvR orientated guild.

Until the stealther zerg comes and leeches RP from your kills

Pretty much, yeah

Best fun I have these days is our guild groups to alb and hib sides of DF

Albs block the MMG in Emain for one big reason, if they don't hold the Mids back we end up with 10 buffboted Shadowblades camping AMG and the road to APK. Goto Emain at primetime and do a /who Emain. Just see how many Shadowblades and Shammys are there. You can't expect Albs not to try stem the flow towards APK.

And of course Albion doesn't have the same number of buffbotted infils? Yeah right...

Yeah, it's sad really. These last few weeks I've been running around all frontiers, although I've tried to stay away from Emain. The problem is getting a group. Usually I end up running here or there, meet some mids, ask if they've got any spot open, no answer, run away and die to 1-2 fgs of Albs/Hibs. Now and then I meet nice people who invite me though and end up having quite fun. Of course we usually die fast if we end up meeting Sotl or NP somewhere because of one thing, coordination. You usually don't get the same coordination with random people throughout the realm as with people you group with often.

so many people atm are saying how hard it is to get groups...
my only piece of advice is start one yourself then you're garenteed a place. I think this is particularly relevant to "solo" classes that want to rvr in a group. Also shouting LFG in main channel is useless, using personal messages is a much more effective way to get groups ( GL's find it harder to turn you down for one if you speak to them in person ).
I'm not looking for an arguement here just trying to be helpful

Good advice in theory.

I've tried it and it does work on occassion, but when half of Midgard doesn't speak English (or prefers not to) and the other half are part of RvR guild groups it's not too easy. :\

ok one day in emain/odins whatever you wave to me and we can go kill hippies together... sound good?

 

[SilverHood]

most emain groups these days are BaF / SU
Add a few Bad Omen ones, maybe an Onsluahgt one now and then.

Then there's the rag tag army of everyone else who can't get into the decent RvR groups. Sometimes we manage to balance it (or them). Sometimes we end up with 2 skalds, 2 thanes, 2 zerkers and 2 warriors.

Basically, the amount of un-organised midgard emain RvR is aproaching 0%.
An unbalanced group, or 2 for that matter, won't stand up to sotl, or NP, or whoever. Only choice is to zerg, and thats no fun, and so the group dies.
Now and then, we get to tag along the Bad Omen crew (kudos to Blej for this), but it's usually every midgardian for himself unless he's in a super guild.

Havne't been actively RvRing for a few days... think I'm gonna stick leading guildies to alb/hib parts of DF for some fun

 

[hrodelbert]

come to odins i have regular gimp excursions there everyday

I'll be playing my SB from now on, but sure

 

[hrodelbert]

there is something very satisfying about a blade sliding between a chanters ribs... oh damn it he had 4 wardens in his group nm

_tindel_ what bugs me is that Midgard used to be so strong, now a huge portion of your players are on shadowblade alts and it is destroying your realm or at the very least damaging it. Ok you have no relics at the moment and that may change after patch but with relics back it will be even more of an excuse to roll a shadowblade and a buffbot. Damn shame in my opinion as Midgard has so much more to offer but is going down the road of gank squads and ninja raids

SO true.

during the day I always run as just 1 FG in odins where ever possible

 

[Aoln]

save me a spot in ur grp hrod

 

[agraucred]

Hadrians seems to be the best place for RvR still, always has been imo. Odins used to be good, infact it still was untill about a month ago when the zerg squads started to spread out some, now its impossible to get through the AMG solo, and yet 3 weeks ago i was running around getting into duels with skalds and hunters. i realise that running solo is always a risk, but 2fg hibs/mids at AMG is usually one of those "hmmm, theres snow here, but i get the impression this is actually Emain" moments, followed by /release /q

Your average randomly made Mid RvR group contains:

2 Wannabe Napoleons.
2 AFK.
1 Person waiting for guild group but doesn't say when they join because they know they won't get in.
1 Caster feeling nervous because they know nobody is going to protect them.
1 Lvl40 hoping for RAs to help him level.
1 person who just wants a lift to somewhere.

A typical day for me
Go emain, get killed by 2 fg's of NP

Go back to emain, get killed by 2 fg's of SotL

Go emain, get killed by 2 fg's of NP

Try hadrians with a friend, get to mmg, PL camping mmg.

Try once again, this time with a full group.... no albs at mmg, join some ganking at HoC. Get killed by uber guard spawns.

Next stop, odin's gate. Sit at amg for 40 mins, kill one stealther.

back to emain, get killed by 2 fg's of SotL

Doesn't seem to be a lot of fun anymore...... should be better with the advent of SI

Ah, at least I have my thidranki alt.

you forgot run from kung-fu friar while the zerg kills him

DUEL ME !

 

[SilverHood]

PM me time and place tommoro and i'll see if I can make it
